A two-car accident on Highway 50 in front of the Lakeridge development near Glenbrook sent five people to the hospital.

The March 20 collision occurred about 7:30pm. Traffic was affected for a couple hours.

Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper John Jessee told Lake Tahoe News that a white 4Runner driven by a 16-year-old Stateline boy “failed to yield” to approaching traffic. The teen was turning left toward Zephyr Cove.

The youth claimed the vehicle stalled. Jessee said based on how the SUV spun it was evident it was not moving when it was hit.

“Either way, it was still a failure to yield,” Jessee said. And he was cited for failing to yield.

A woman heading toward Cave Rock hit the SUV, causing the 4Runner to spin around. The boy did not seek medical attention. The female driver of the Highlander and her four passengers were taken to Barton Memorial Hospital in South Lake Tahoe. The driver is from Carson City and passengers from Gardnerville.

Jesse said he did not expect the women to be admitted to the hospital.
